Finn excuse for a picture
By Ged
July 23 2010
In the interests of brevity and variety, Ged Ladd has decided to write up today's play in the form of ten haiku poems. This is a bit of a first for MTWD, so let us know what you think.

Haiku One - The Night Before
Though Simpson turns up,
At charity curry night,
Next morning, no runs.
Haiku Two - Getting There
Piccadilly Line,
Inevitable delays,
Old folk rush to ground.
Haiku Three - Hoiku
Malan and Morgan,
Show dreamy summer batting,
Till both bowled hoiking.
Haiku Four - Saving Face
Batsmen six to ten,
Summon up a hundred more,
A hundred behind.
Haiku Five - Outside Broadcasts Again
Iain O'Brien,
Runs in like a spring chicken,
Pulls up, hammy crocked.
Haiku Six - Sad At Tea
Daisy's on her way,
"Thirty six for no wicket",
"Does not sound too good".
Haiku Seven - In The Wickets
Finn and Rowland-Jones
Strike four times in ten overs,
Joyce and Prior displeased.
Haiku Eight - Sussex Fret
"We've been robbed", they claim,
"If so, report the umpires",
"No, call the police".
Haiku Nine - Hatchett Job
Murray Goodwin Falls,
Only a few balls to go,
Hatchett, night watchman.
Haiku Ten - Summary
Lovely day to watch,
Splendid wicket for cricket,
Uxbridge came up stumps.

Not sure my "haiku" is high enough to understand these poems.
